Fuels and their
Efficiency
in Producing Energy |
|
|
|
Introduction:
We create heat energy by burning
fuels. During the process of burning, chemical energy stored
in fuels will be released in the form of heat. Since heat energy
is what we are looking for, it is important to learn more about
the amount of heat that we can get from different types of fuel.
The amount of heat that you get from one pound of charcoal, probably
is not the same as heat from one pound of natural gas or one
pound of gasoline. Knowing what fuel will create more energy
can help us to put value on different fuels. |

Project
description
This experiment requires multiple experiments with different types
of fuels. You need to measure the amount of heat energy produced
with each fuel, record the results and plot a chart or graph. |
